    It's an okay place to take the kids for an evening out. Many of the rides were outdated and not working either due to lack of staff to run the ride or mechanical issue. The place has great potential if the town gives the attraction an upgrade. I bought a sheet of 100 tickets and that was too much...a sheet of 50 would have still been alot as well. Food were palpable but all in all still a good place for an outing. I would say the race course is the main attraction for the older kids. The beach is also right there. Check it put and see

    Nice place for a family day out . Good rides available for kids and there are also few for adults . Also games shops are nice to enjoy the time . You have food there if you are hungry or thirsty :) . Parking lot is available with parking meters . There is a board walk also to walk on . And the beach on the side as a cherry on top . All in all a great place for a day out with family where everyone can enjoy something :)

    Most of the rides are for toddlers. The bigger rides are always closed and they never have enough staff. The staff has to alternate between rides. That means they close a ride to open the next. When we were here last we asked employees standing around if they can open one of the bigger rides they said in 1 hr. We waited around for 2 hrs and nobody came to open the ride. It sucks for the small restaurants that are open at this location. The beach is free but not well kept. The Pizza Vis good, The Olde Heidleberg Inn has good drinks and the Puerto Rican restaurant is also good. There was a fight but the cops were there pretty quick.

    Absolutely disgusting bathrooms! We spent over $200 tonight just on tickets and EVERY SINGLE BATHROOM WAS FILTHY! You can charge high fees for tickets and food but not have the decency to offer clean restrooms? This constantly happens! You do not keep the place clean and it is not hygienic. Awful. Kids had nowhere to go to the bathroom!! You should be ashamed.

    Things aren't the same as they used to be like when I was a kid but I would recommend going, I just wished they had more board walk style games to play and I wish everything wasn't cash only. Also the pizzeria there is quite expensive even though the pizza is good. Stat away feom their beach very dirty and filled with biting flies.

    Rides were opening at all different times. Some parts could be better, if someone could fix this place up it could be amazing !!. Lots of games to play, the arcade areas are nice. Lots of parking !! Just wish the fence had more openings to get to the beach. Came after the hurricane so there was alot if dead fish by the pier that could have been cleaned up by the city ? We had fun but seemed to be better for smaller kids.

    We used to go there when our girls were young. They have a lot of rides for young kids and it's not that expensive. It's been a while so we took a ride down for old times. It's still the same. Brought back a lot of memories. There are some big Highrisers going up across from the Rides so the Town is expanding. That day the parking lots were full and people were enjoying the amusements and beach.

    I thought the place was closed down or abandoned at first but then I saw a couple of rides going. It's very withered and tattered but a good place for the locals to pass the time. The beach access was good. A short walk from your car.

    The waterpark is perfect for those who do not want to spend hours waiting to get on rides or walking around. Great place to have fun on the budget. The chicken fingers and fries are also delicious.

    Visiting here is like traveling in a time machine back to the 80s. The aesthetic of the place is cool at first until you realize that it affects everything else; the rides are old and rusty, food stands are literal filth, quality of food is horrible, and everything requires cash. You wont be able to pay for parking or food with a card. Still though, with the lack of alternative amusement parks anywhere in a 30 mile radius, this is a good place to spend some time with your family. Lots of the typical carnival games, snacks, and arcade games. There's a pier and a free beach behind the park. Ticket prices are actually insane for rides though. The only affordable day to come would be on Tuesdays and Fridays because of the specials.

    We really enjoyed our time here. Some staff members went above and beyond, but they were definitely short staffed. I'd say that a good 6+ rides were closed /, but my boys are small so it didn't really affect them. We didn't get any food, but they had fun.

    I arrived at this place with my family at 3pm to be notified that the place closes at 5 and that the charge was the same 32$ for each adult or child there were 6 of us we accepted the deal, Honestly nothing new the same games but what I found a Fat Man with a beard frustrating, very stressful, annoying and rude, but not with all people, how curious? my friend learn some empathy and education and be fair with everyone. In the end they closed at 4:30 DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY here go to Mountain Creek Water Park in any case it will cost every penny out of your pocket. You are welcome !!

    Extremely disappointing, we went on the 1st day of summer and there was only 1 place open to eat. Half the rides were closed and there was no place to get anything to drink. The website said they were fully open but yet Nothing was open. If you really want grandparents to bring their grandchildren in the middle of the week, there needs to be more places open. Otherwise, just sell the property already to a developer and let them build more condos there.

    9/10/2022👙🥽🏖️⛱️🌊 After paying $2 for 1 to park at the beach, which is reasonable considering you pay by coins or bills, $1 $5 $10, etc., no change or refund, a nice lady tells my grandson and I that there's no charge after 3pm and it was 3:30pm when I just finished paying $4 for 2 hours in coins and bills 🥳🥳🥳!!! The ocean waters is warmly delicious...

    Wish the food places and rides didnt close down so early, but I guess since covid things have changed. Otherwise I love the go karts and its one of my favorite amusement oarks because of the go karts. The beach is also peaceful at night and I appreciate it

    Not enough employees- As usual, Keansburg is hit or miss. This past Thursday was a definite miss- no attendants were working the rides, food stands were closed, and the games all shuttered again except for 1 stand. It looked like a ghost town, despite customers wandering around with nothing to do. We left without spending any money. Such a shame and the kids were definitely disappointed. As a local, I understand business can be slow, but if I had come down to the shore and had planned on Keansburg in my activities, I would not have been happy. They need to reinvest some money back in to the boardwalk to make it worth my while to come back.

    Wonderful and beautiful day, great food, great water park, and enjoyed the arcade. This was a birthday celebration for my daughter and her father (their birthdays are 8/5 and 8/7. We love Keansburg.

    Got the weekday pass. It was worth it. My son had a ball. A full day of fun for one price. Water park and amusement park.

  • 2/5 Amber S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been in Keansburg my whole life. After Sandy, this place has gone down hill. Rides are always closed and some stands are even closed. Nobody really wants to work here and I'm not surprised at all. The rides that are open are mostly for little kids so it's not that great of a place for many adults. Food can be pretty good. Prices are okay but for what you get, you're better off going somewhere else. I hope keansburg amusement park becomes better.

    Very inexpensive time for the family. Kids had fun. Food was afforfable and nice quick little day trip. Definitely get there early if you want seating. The beach is across the street, which was great too. We visited there afterward.

  • 2/5 Nicole A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is run down. I used to love coming as a kid but now there are never any employees to run the rides. Most things are off or not working. The rides are old. They really need to invest and update all the rides and hire more people. They would get a bigger crowd if they did these things. The beach is very dirty and nasty, would not recommend to swim. It's a shame that they are letting this place die. It's one of the closest parks from the north area.

    I had a terrible experience that made me feel ripped off. As soon as I got to the parking lot I got ripped off by the front ticket guy who only gave me $3 back when I gave him a $20. The water park was pretty good but once I went back amusement park I was told that their "Weekday Warrior special" no longer existed even though its still up on their website. So because I wanted to do a few of the rides I bought about 25 tickets (which was $31). Only to be told that basically none of the rides were open and no staff member was able to tell me when the rides would be open. I could also not get any refund for the tickets. Could have been a cool experience to go on a bunch of carnival rides without the big crowds but totally ruined by the horrible practices

    Eh, it’s an ok amusement park. Severely understaffed which most of the rides are closed until one of the staff members rotate and open a previously closed ride. We experienced a pretty gross interaction with another park goer and her kid. The kid, with special needs, proceeded to walk around touching the flavor bottles on the snow come machine, put ice in his mouth and spit it on the work are and touched the snow cone cups right after. The mother did not say anything to him or tried to prevent. We alerted staff afterwards and asked if they could sanitize the station in which we were told there wasn’t any Lysol wipes or anything. He ended up grabbing windex. Apart from that, it’s an ok place to visit.

    I own an original Looff carousel horse that was at this park from 1913-1987 and stopped in to get some information. These folks were genuinely excited to see me, answered all of my questions, and information I didn't even know I needed to know. The staff was exceptional! Awesome little place!

  • 5/5 Mital S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for kids, teens, and all. They have plenty of rides for young kids as well as adults. Plenty of places to grab a snack and drinks. Plenty of parking available nearby. Good place to spend a few hours with the kids/ friends/ family.

👍👍 Very nice beach it's clean, free for everyone, you can bring a tent if you don't have an umbrella or chair, not to crowded, there's no lifeguard present on the beach so swim at your own risk, sometimes they have concerts on the beach so it gets crowded around that time, there's a park right next to...

😠 This is for union beach which doesnt allow reviews and I can see why! Beach is small and parking area is smaller and there are meters. We took a stroll and found a syringe and a list of rules including no swimming. The only ones enjoying the beach were the birds. Save ur gas and give this a pass.
